    Buying a Season Ticket

    Got a season ticket at The Butts last year, thoroughly enjoyed it and renewed. Under 16s go free, lovely atmosphere, can take your beer into the stand, no arseholes and you get to cheer a Cov team in Cov. Not a bad protest idea either, large numbers of supporters switching to the rugby team...

    /what us fans need to know What if......

    Two scenarios 1. Somehow CCFC in its current guise returns to The Ricoh. First game back would be a massive event, a crowd of at least 15,000 and probably a lot more. 2. CCFC is killed by SISU and a Phoenix club plays it's first game at the Ricoh as a new Coventry club representing the...

    Coventry City owners Sisu found to have ‘seriously mismanaged’ club

    David Conn is wrong and his article is very unfortunate. I am confident that when the same facts are reviewed by three very senior journalists they will come up with the completely opposite conclusions.

    What happens next when Sisu appeal?

    Pissing in the wind. Judges always have one eye on the possibility of appeal before delivering their initial judgement. There never was a case here and the only surprise was that the second judge involved allowed it to go to a hearing. I expect J Hickinbottom may have something to say to...

    whats everyone doing then ?

    Supporter since 1969. Season ticket holder for years. Have both met and spoken on the phone with Tim Fisher. Will never set foot in Sixfields unless as an away supporter of Cov. My reasons? SISU state they had no choice but to move the club away from Coventry - utter lie SISU state they...

    Sandra Garlick on radio stadium

    How can this consultation committee make any meaningful decisions if they don't know the budget for the stadium? Either they know and won't tell anyone or more likely they haven't got the foggiest. They could make all sorts of fancy decisions only to be told that it won't work at that location...

    Who Cares

    Agree it is such a sad time. Went to my first game in 1969 aged 6 with my now departed Dad. Regular in the West End in the thrilling 70s. Life has always been up and down linked to City's fortunes. Indeed I used to think we were usually crap back then but how I would swap these days for...

    We lost 4-0. I had a great day out. My videos.

    Was umming and aahing about Notts County away. Went there last year but so far this year only match is MK away. Call me a glory hunting bandwagon jumper if you like ( on the other hand I have been going home and away since 1969 - just refuse to acquiesce to my club being taken hostage as part...

    Question for those living outside of Coventry Re. the future of your support

    My dad was born in Cov, me in Nuneaton and I now live in Southam. Used to envy dad going out to watch matches, read the programmes he brought back avidly and pestered him to take me. Finally went in 1969 aged 6, still recall the excitement of the walk up King Richard Street and the first...

    last nights attendance

    Is it really so difficult to see why it matters how many City fans attend Sixfields? We all want a successful team and so normally we want the club's revenue to be maximised to fund that. We'd also usually be proud of decent gates. What is different this year is that the owners have moved...

    Milton Keynes away

    We're not talking about principled stands against apartheid here are we? Nobody, well nobody sensible, is suggesting that each and every game has to be evaluated against the reputation of the host club before an individual finds it acceptable to their conscience to attend. Here is my...

    Milton Keynes away

    Three tickets bought direct from MK Dons, yes I know they're a bunch of shysters like SISU but this will be first game of the season for me and the two lads. As I was getting them lad rushed in to say Joe Murphy had saved a penalty. I suspect there may be a few of us there. Train to Bletchley...

    Bob Ainsworth Commons statement questioning Appleton

    But Appleton is an honourable man, and so if he said he didn't know we must believe him. As Fisher is an honourable man and Joy is an honourable woman and so when they say that they will build a new stadium and have no hidden agenda to distress ACL, as honourable people we must also believe them.

    Villa stall at Cov Uni Freshers Fair

    My lad is 12 and we both really enjoyed it. Used to go to Coundon Road with my old man in the 70s, the days of Peter Rossborough and David Duckham. Arguably Cov's fall from top dogs in English rugby was more spectacular than City's. Plenty of City fans there yesterday and will continue so I...

    Villa stall at Cov Uni Freshers Fair

    Had cause to go to this event at Cov Uni. Villa had a stall encouraging new students to attend matches there, smugly talking about Premiership football. Made me feel like tipping their stall over but how could we have had a similar stall looking at tapping into the 40,000 odd (some very odd!)...

    Likewise, sounds good. We could adopt 'Survive' as our protest anthem!

    If city were gone.

    I remember the story about Mo Konjic when he came from war torn Bosnia. He scored on his debut at Anfield for us and rang his mum. She interrupted his excited tale and told him while he's been enjoying himself his uncle had been shot, his sister raped and the house burned to the ground. And I...
